Deuteronomy 8:11-20 - Exhortation To Remember That Blessing Comes From God

¹¹ But beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, that thou wouldest not keep his commandments, laws and ordinances which I command thee this day: ¹² yea, and when thou hast eaten and filled thyself and hast built goodly houses and dwelt therein, ¹³ and when thy beasts and thy sheep are waxed many and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, ¹⁴ and all that thou hast increased, then beware lest thine heart rise and thou forget the LORD thy God which brought thee out of the land of Egypt the house of bondage, ¹⁵ and which led thee in the wilderness both great and terrible with fiery serpents and scorpions and thirst where was no water, which brought the water out of the rock of flint: ¹⁶ which fed thee in the wilderness with Manna whereof thy fathers knew not, for to humble thee and to prove thee, that he might do thee good at thy latter end. ¹⁷ And beware that thou say not in thine heart, 'My power and the might of mine own hand hath done me all these acts.' ¹⁸ But remember the LORD thy God, how that it is he which gave thee power to do manfully, for to make good the covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is come to pass this day. ¹⁹ For if thou shalt forget the LORD thy God and shalt walk after strange gods and serve them and worship them, I testify unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish. ²⁰ As the nations which the LORD destroyeth before thee, even so ye shall perish, because ye would not hearken unto the voice of the LORD your God.
